I've been very busy with real life these last months. I've changed of job, bought a house and had a second daughter.

Yet, with the holiday season, I've had time to read a few comics and here are my comments about them.

JLA : another nail, Fantastic Four : The End and Avengers Prime : surely that Alan Davis guy can draw. And his writing is good, too (especially in FF : the End).Les Chroniques de Conan, 1977 (french reprints of Savage Sword of Conan from the year 1977) : those Buscema and Alcala guys were no slouches either.Batman and the Monster Men, Batman and the Mad Monk : Matt Wagner can draw and write ! I only wonder how many tales DC will manage to pack in Batman "first years".The Walking Dead (book 1 and 2) : like the Zombie cocktail : potent stuff but not for me.Chew (book 1 and 2) : more to my taste.Criminal : the last of the innocent. Crime doesn't pay. Except when you can write good stories about it, like Brubaker and Phillips.Scalped : the series will end in 2012 and I'll miss it (but at least, it's no cancellation but the planned ending).

And last but not least : the Daredevil relaunch. DD got back his cool, he's no more a pawn in the series and is graced with very nice art. What's to asked before his next breakdown ?

Daredevil teamed-up with the FF a few times but this time it's Matt Murdock who offers his help.Daredevil a déjà donné un coup de main aux 4 Fantastiques mais là, c'est Matt Murdock qui vient proposer son aide.

Browsing on Comic Art Fans, I've always enjoyed the drawings of Matt Wagner, especially the ones on color paper. So today, I tried to do something like that.I had red paper, the fitting character didn't take much time to figure.It didn't come out too bad. I might do more of this.
